NON-BEFILLABLE BOTTLE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

ea-aria To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, VVAsYL WOZNY, a subject of the Emperor of Austria,resident of Boundbrook, county of Somerset, and State of New Jersey, andPAUL HUSAK, a subject of the Emperor of Austria, resident of Boundbrook,county of Somerset, and State of New Jersey, have invented certain newand useful Improvements in Non-Refillable Bottles, of which thefollowing is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in bottles and particularly totypes known as non-refillable.

The principal object of the invention is to provide a bottle havingmeans whereby unauthorized renewal or substitution of the contents isprevented.

A. further object is to provide such means in forms which arerelatively, inexpensive to construct, and readily applied in such manneras to form substantially a part of the bottle walls at the mouth or neckthereof.

These and other like objects are attained by the novel design,construction and combination of parts hereafter described and shown inthe accompanying drawings, forming a material part of this specificationand in which- Figure 1 is a side elevational view of a bottle made inaccordance with the invention.

Fig. 2 is a fragmental vertical sectional view taken substantially onthe center line of the bottle. I

Fig. 3 is an enlarged transverse sectional view taken on line 3-3 ofFig. 2.

Fig. 4 is a side elevational view of the retainer used to engage theparts with the bottle, and

Fig. 5 is a perspective view showing the valve arrangemen The bottle isindicated by the numeral 10, and made of any ordinary or special shapeas desired, the same terminating in a mouth 11, containing an interiorannular flange 12, the shoulders at the top and bottom of which areformed abruptly.

The top of the bottle has secured to it a dome-shaped cap preferablymade of metal, and having a through openin 16 at its uper end, the lowerend being ormed with a plurality of slits 17, the teeth 18 remainingbetween the slits being turned upward, forming hooks 19 at their bottomedges, which are adapted to engage w'th the lower side Application filedJuly 6, 1917,

of the flange 12 when sprung into position, the act of pressingthe teethtoward each other when inserting providing a curved surface 20, adaptedto engage with the upper edge of the flange 12 in a manner clearly shownin Fig. 2, the cap being held rigidly in position by means of cement 21,thereby providing a smooth exterior in conformity with the upper portionof the bottle.

Engaged in the cover 15, at a point substantially in register with theupper end of the slit17, is a band 24 to which is hingedly engaged bymeans of a pin 25, a lever 26 having attached at its outer end a valve28, substantially central of the opening to the bottle mouth, andadapted to cover an opening 30 formed in the plate 33, secured withinthe cap 15 immediately below the band 24:, and held therein by asuitable cement 31 through the center of which extends an opening 34co-incident with the opening 30 through the plate 33.

In operation, the metallic cap 15 having been inserted within the bottleneck until the hook elements 19 are engaged below the flange asindicated, the bottle is ready for use. When it is desired to remove apart c the contents, the bottle is inverted, thereby permitting thecontents to issue through the band 2 k and opening 34 to wherever it isdesired to dispense the same.

When it is attempted to refill the contents however, the valve 28 restsupon the plate 33 so that liquid poured into the top of the bottlethrough the opening 16 meets with an obstruction presented by the valve28, closing the opening 30 and is thus prevented from entering into theinterior of the bottle.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent is-- 1. The combination with a bottle, of aninterior annular flanged edge formed at the mouth thereof, an annularcover suited to be received within said bottle, said cover having acontracted entrance, a plurality of spring fingers formed integrallywith said cover, hooks at the extremities of said fingers, said hooksbeing engageable with the flanged neck of said bottle, a plate securedtransversely of said casing, said plate having a single central orifice,a band secured in sai cover, adjacent to said plate, and a valve in saidband, said valve being adapted to cover the orifice through said platewhen the bottle is in an upright position,

2. In a bottle comprising a hollow recepa normally open top, a flangedannulus projecting therein, a cover at the upper surface of said bottle,resilient fingers formed with said cover engageable with said flange atthe lower side thereof, means for said bottle,

tion aflixed transversely within said cover,

ggple s of this patent n; ay he obtained {for five cents each, b

ounting said plate, said band 3 e interior of said cusalve pivotallyengaged being adapted eof We have affixed our AUL HUSAK.
